It’s CRISTY’S MIX on the Rock Inbox, spinning unknown quantities straight off the new arrivals shelf. We savor some gems and choke on some ore. It’s a pledge drive, but somehow this doesn’t ruin the fun. Listen and discover what we heard.

As Rock Genre Directors at WEFT 90.1 FM, once a month we would set about opening our mail, criticizing the type treatment used by the mostly micro-label CDs we received, and digging for buried musical treasure. All on the air, with envelopes ripping and bubble wrap popping. And lots of playing songs that were new to us, even if they might be stale to others.

From the archives, here’s a show we apparently broadcast in May of 2011, when Honcho visited us with a bag of loot from Austin Psychfest. The recording is currently MIA, but here’s the extant evidence of what we’re missing.

Rock music without singing? Wait. What? The point? You mean like, surf? No? Early 1970s 12-minute jams with the verses cut out? No? Well? Listen as William attempts to answer these questions from Cristy. And then she throws him off the mike and takes over with the Rock Inbox.

Cristy and William’s first Rock Inbox, meeting WEFT’s mission to play new music in order to get more new music, and our own mission to get past the music we listened to in high school. It doesn’t all suck. Judge for yourself.
